Time 1h

Yield 2 cups, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
2 tablespoons cherry brandy or 2 tablespoons kirsch
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 -3 tablespoons sugar, as needed
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • In a heavy-based saucepan, combine chocolate, cherry brandy or kirsch, butter and corn syrup. Add 2 tablespoons sugar if using cherry brandy, 3 tablespoons sugar if using kirsch. Melt over very low heat, then scrape into a bowl and allow to cool a little.
  • Separate eggs, and whisk whites until soft peaks form. Beat yolks into cooled chocolate mixture, then gently mix in a dollop of egg whites to lighten mixture. Carefully fold remaining whites into chocolate mixture, taking care to keep mousse airy.
  • Spoon mousse into two wine glasses. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours before serving. YIELD 2 servings.
